About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges of concluding comic book storylines, focusing on various titles in the Ultimate Universe.

What’s going on in the Dome? Do we need to care? Are we satisfied with everything being wrapped up nicely in Spider-Man? Was it too convenient? What about X-Men’s dangling plot threads? Where did all of those come from? It's probably hard to end things. Do you like endings? Well, there are more ends to end and friends to friend. Listen and tell a friend. That’s a call to action. They tell you to do them. Who’s they? Action! You haven’t called them in a while. We talk about Ultimate Endgame 2, Ultimate X-Men 24, Ultimate Wolverine 14, and Ultimate Spider-Man 24. Next time we’ll talk about Ultimates 20-22, Ultimate Wolverine 15-16, Ultimate Endgame 3 Recommendations: Preacher, 100 Bullets, Journal With Witch, DC’s New Frontier Intro: One Beer By MF Doom Outro: Robot Stop By King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard Other songs and sounds: Porky Pig, X-Men Themes, Fantastic Four Theme, Spider-man Theme Albums I listened to while editing: Lighght by Kishi Bashi, Ultimate Spinach self titled album, Speaking in Tongues by Talking Heads, Daddy’s Home by St. Vincent, and Butterfly 3000 and Teenage Gizzard both by King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard
